“I have been practicing capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art for the past 8 years with my instructor Professor Tiba from Capoeira Luanda in New York. When you join a capoeira group, you become part of a family, a community. You make new friends along the way.  You meet people from your own city and from all over the world through capoeira events and practice. Every time I travel for business or fun, I always bring my capoeira uniform and make sure to visit a local capoeira class. I have always been welcomed and invited outside of the class to discover the local culture. I’ve found that traveling as a capoeirista is far more superior than traveling as a tourist.  I’ve had the opportunity to experience various cities as a personal guest of a fellow capoeirista and have often even had the option to stay in someone’s home at no cost. ”
